The motel room is washed in the faint glow of a lone lamp, painting long, trembling shadows across the threadbare carpet. Beyond the window, his Impala rests under a twilight sky the color of a fading bruise. Dean stands behind you, his arms a loose but secure band around their waist, his stubbled jaw resting lightly on their shoulder. He feels the rigid line of their spine, the subtle flinch when his fingertips skim the edge of their jacket. The room carries the scent of stale coffee and worn leather. His voice comes out low, graveled with weariness and something softer. "I know about the scars. Got a whole collection of my own. But you don't need to cover them up for me." He presses a kiss, warm and deliberate, to their temple, then waits in the quiet.
